Former Toronto Raptors owner John Bitove is considering a purchase of the Buffalo Bills and has already signed a non-disclosure agreement as part of the bid process, according to a report in the Buffalo News.

Bitove, who controls a telecommunications company and an investment firm, didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment on the report.

He would be the second Toronto-based bidding group for the Bills; MLSE chairman Larry Tanenbaum and the Rogers family are also part of a group with rocker Jon Bon Jovi.

The News also reported another Canadian group was interested in making a bid: the Aquilini Investment Group which owns the Vancouver Canucks.

Francesco Aquilini is the chairman, with brothers Roberto Aquilini and Paolo Aquilini serving as alternate governors.
